50 Secrets of the World's Longest-Living People

’50 Secrets… is a book that should be in every home, school, and library in the United States of America.’ Jimmy Moore

Secrets of the World’s Longest-Living People (Marlowe & Co, USA, 2006) takes the ‘secrets’ of the ultra-healthy and long-lived populations described in The Live-Longer Diet and breaks them down into 50 easy-to-incorporate, bite-sized pieces. All together, these 50 tips form a comprehensive picture of what people in the Longevity Hot Spots eat and do.

The diet and lifestyle tips match up with nutrition science and research into what is an optimum diet and lifestyle, making them a happy marriage of ancient wisdom and modern scientific knowledge.

At the time of writing The Live-Longer Diet and 50 Secrets, the diets in the Longevity Hot Spots had not been analysed or written about in such detail before. So far as I know, that is still the case. There is, however, an excellent, authoritative study of Okinawa, in Japan, called The Okinawa Way by Craig and Bradley Willcox.

50 Secrets has sold around 30,000 copies and has 65 reviews on Amazon with an average 4.5 star rating.

Yoko Ono has described 50 Secrets as one of her top seven health books. She says:

‘I am 77 years old and feeling better than ever. This book has proved to me that longevity has everything to do with one’s state of mind…these 77 years are just a prelude to my life!’

From Oprah Winfrey’s O! Magazine, March 2011

Jimmy Moore, author of Livin’ La Vida Low Carb, says:

‘50 Secrets… is a book that should be in every home, school, and library in the United States of America. If it was, then I assure you that radical changes would take place in obesity, sickness, prescription drug use, sugar consumption, the fast food industry and so much more. Once you take a peek into the lives of those who have found the secrets to extending life, you’ll never want to go back to your old ways again!’

‘50 Secrets achieves the perfect blending of instruction and example to show the way to a healthier diet that is better for the planet. Without preaching, this book inspires you to enjoy a diet that is varied, healthful, delicious and, very importantly, never rigid or restrictive.’

The eternal olive tree: a tree to be reckoned with W ild olive trees existed as long as forty million years ago, in the area we now know as the Mediterranean.
